Quick answer
Start with CleanCo Non-Alcoholic Spiced Apple Vodka as your base, then add apple cider, lemon juice, and a cinnamon garnish to build a crisp, warming mocktail in minutes.
Why CleanCo works as the base
CleanCo Non-Alcoholic Spiced Apple Vodka delivers the warming cinnamon notes and crisp apple character you expect from a spiced vodka, without the alcohol. That makes it a reliable shortcut: you get the flavor backbone of the cocktail without having to infuse your own spirits or balance multiple spices from scratch.
Because it's non-alcoholic, you can pour a generous measure without worrying about strength. That also means the drink works for designated drivers, pregnant guests, or anyone who simply wants a lighter evening.
Balancing sweet, tart, and spice
The CleanCo base is already uplifting and crisp, with hints of cinnamon. To make a balanced cocktail, you still need acidity and a touch of sweetness. Fresh lemon juice brightens the apple flavors, while a small amount of maple syrup or honey rounds out the spice without making the drink cloying.
If you prefer a drier profile, skip the sweetener entirely and rely on the natural sweetness of the apple cider. Taste as you go—non-alcoholic cocktails can easily tip too sweet because there's no bitter alcohol to offset the sugar.
How to build your spiced apple mocktail
- Chill your glass and gather ingredients: Place a rocks glass in the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, measure 2 oz CleanCo Non-Alcoholic Spiced Apple Vodka, 3 oz apple cider, 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 oz maple syrup (optional). A chilled glass keeps the drink crisp longer.
- Combine and stir: Fill a mixing glass with ice, add all measured ingredients, and stir for 20 seconds. Strain into the chilled rocks glass over one large ice cube. Stirring, not shaking, keeps the texture smooth and prevents dilution.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a thin apple fan. Optionally, dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon. Serve immediately. The garnish adds aroma and visual appeal—don't skip it.
